Ingredients

14.11 oz (400 g) chicken breast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
1 red bell pepper
0.35 oz (10 g) fajita spice mix
0.42 cups (1 dl) water
0.5 chicken bouillon cube
1.06 cups (2.5 dl) cooking cream
salt/pepper
0.25 bundle fresh parsley
Directions
- Boil pasta according to box instructions.
- Find your favorite KUMA kitchen knife and cut onion and garlic to fine pieces. Slice bell pepper into strips.
- Slice chicken into strips.
- Heat up a pan with some oil or butter to medium heat.
- Add garlic and onion to the pan to sauté for a few minutes until soft.
- Add chicken and cook it until it has gotten some color on all sides.
- Add fajita spice mix.
- Add bell pepper.
- Crumble in your bouillon cube and add water. Stir well and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes so some of the water evaporates.
- Add cooking cream and taste with salt and pepper.
- When the pasta is done cooking, move the pasta penne to the pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the pasta water to the pan as well.
- Stir to incorporate everything and let it simmer for a few minutes more so the pasta soaks up the sauce a bit.
